this storm has killed at least one person in the washington, d.c. area. i want to bring back melissa mollet with our station wrc in washington, d.c. and she is in alexander, virginia. we got cut off from you the last time you were reporting but give us a sense of how things are looking there right now. >> well, good morning, chris. you can see, let me first show you this tree behind me. look how massive this thing is. we are in alexandria, virginia. you can see how large it is as i stand next to it. this is a neighborhood that lost power last night. who knows who they'll get it back on. they are just some of the hundreds of thousands of people in this region without power. if we kind of pan around, you can see it is completely dark. let's walk across the street and see another tree that is down. our numbers right now and the d.c., maryland, virginia area are 200,000 people out of power. i've got to tell you the winds were whipping through like crazy last night. this is no surprise and, of course, this is something that we're seeing all along the east coas

washington, d.c., by the way, you had a windy late night. you had some gusts up to 60 miles per hour which caught some people by surprise. further to the north in new england, finally the winds are dying off there, too. we shouldn't see too much more damage. the concern i have overnight besides additional winds is the heavy snow through areas of west virginia, pennsylvania, and also through areas of extreme mountainous maryland. chris, it's going to snow another 1 to 2 feet on top of the foot that is already on the ground. people are already stuck in numerous locations because of that heavy snow and downed trees. so just a multifaceted historic storm. the name sandy is almost guaranteed to be retired by the national hurricane center. i'm sure this will be a multibillion dollar storm damage. we probably had close to $1 billion in new york city, alone. >> we're just getting to get a sense of the scope of the damage. we'll see much more obviously when the sun rises. >> the jersey shore when we get that helicopter up and show people the beaches

he said it's as if mitt romney said i'm going to drive from washington, d.c. to california in 15 hours. that means you'll have to go 2 hundred miles an hour and romney said i'm not going to break the law. then how do you square the numbers? you've got to throw the math word back at them maybe with the pretty colors if you want. >> do you expect joe biden to be able to make that point or to do anything else that's going to significantly change the democrats' process. >> i do have high hopes for biden. i watched the debates in the 2007-2008 campaign and biden beat both hillary clinton and barack obama in a number of debates. everybody talks about his gaffes and they forget he is a good debatetor and he has a capacity for empathy for average people. and he can just explain stuff quite well. so i think he will put ryan on the griddle and take the interview with chris wallace and say look, you've got time. you said the math is too complicated. don't give us talk about base lines. tell us how you're going to do this. >> e.j., thanks for being here. i appreciate it.
